]]>It’s almost here! Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold launches NEXT TUESDAY! So we have one last character video for you to check out!

Though she may be diminuitive in side, Chloe the War Magus will play a big, big role in your party with some of the most devastating debuffs that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold has to offer. Central to a War Magus’ strengths are the War Edge skills – when equipped with a sword, War Magi can apply a 7-turn debuff that reduces an enemy’s Attack or Defense, as long as the enemy currently has an ailment. SEVEN. TURNS. Hugely devastating for boss fights, especially when followed up by the Sovereign’s Ad Nihilo skill to convert the debuffs (on their last turn, naturally) into Almighty damage.

Considering that most classes can apply ailments to enemies (especially ones like Dark Hunters and Survivalists who can boost the success rate of ailments), it becomes quickly evident that a War Magus is a core element of a successful party!

You can check out the new Chloe trailer here:

Plus we updated the Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold website with a new video about improving town! Spend your hard-earned En to improve the various districts around the village…improved areas will attract better customers, meaning that not only can you improve the amount of revenue in your advertising campaigns, but also attract better potential trade partners for Grimoire Stones!

]]>Invision scored a brand new partner in the form of Logitech and that’s to some great communication and splendid PR we are finally bringing you the viewer/reader our first review.

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury, being a massive Blizzard fan the name Hyperion reminded me of the Starcraft 2 Battlecruiser, of coarse the G402 Hyperion Fury has absolutely nothing to do with Starcraft 2 in any way, shape or form.

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is actually an ultra fast FPS gaming mouse, how is it ultra fast, well lets look at the packaging and see what the company has to say about this mouse and its selling points.

On the front is a simplistic and tech worth view of the mouse.But trying to discribe the mouse was a blank, I had writers block, this was a first for me, so I reached out to a member of my team for a little influence. I got some great quotes, Dynamic, Futury and Ergonomic, with a swoosh of light, was how he discribed the mouse, and I have to admit, I agree.

On the bottom of the front display has the name of the mouse and its selling point “ULTRA FAST FPS GAMING MOUSE”.

When turning the box over you can read about some of the mouses main benefits.

An optical gaming sensor with exclusive Delta Zero Technology, wondering what Delta Zero Technology is, like I was when I thought WTF is this. Well, after a brief Google search I found this ‘Delta Zero technology is kind of amazing. It provides super smooth tracking over all types of surfaces’

A high-speed fusion engine built to withstand 420 inches per second, If you think anything like me, fusion engine means only one thing, ‘Space Travel’. I waited for many hours after attaching the device to the USB, but could not find the fusion engine launch commands. Again a quick search on Google I found this that best describes the fusion engine within a mouse ‘Sophisticated sensor technology for ultra-fast gaming’.

8 programmable buttons & controls, including DPI-shift

4 on-the-fly adjustable dpi settings (240-4.000)

On-board memory profile

Ultra-low-friction feet

Lightweight materials

Improved streamlined design

We now return to the mouse, and what a mouse this is, slim-ish, futuristic, ergonomic are the words best to describe this mouse. I currently use the Razer Raxer Naga Chroma Wireless mouse, you will find with this mouse, that your whole hand rests on top, even the side design puts your fingers in a position that best suits long gaming sessions. However, it can take some time to get used to. due to the size of the mouse and the layout they have created. Its a totally different feeling when using The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury, when you place your hand on the mouse you will instantly feel at home with the design, even for a person that has small hands.

I tend to use a mouse that has loads of buttons, due to me being super lazy and programming each button for each game, so there are less keys to use on the keyboard. The Razer Naga Chroma 19 programmable buttons, a shit load don’t you think, some would say way too many. So why would I like the The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury with its mere 8 programmable buttons? Well, I have to admit, the maximum amount of buttons I have programmed is around 7, which is for the game Diablo 3. Another issue with the Razer Chroma Mouse, is having loads of buttons on the side of the mouse all placed close together, it does take some time getting used to, even now after 6 months of usage, I am sometimes double checking to make sure I am pressing the correct buttons, or most of the time, I simply press the wrong button in game.

When using the The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury I found the buttons easy to program and use, there was no need to guess or look to make sure I am pressing the correct button, or any opps wrong button mishaps in the game. I found the whole gaming experience, a breath of fresh air.

We were sent a mouse mat to use with the mouse, the Logitech G240 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad, a slim, lightweight carry around pad suitable for mobile gaming, as well as in house gaming. The mouse felt like it was floating on air, when in use, no snagging, no need for extra pressure, it just felt so smooth. Maybe it floated so well, due to its weight, which is considerably less than the Razer mouse, which I currently use, Razer mouse weight is at 135g and the Hyperion Fury comes in at 108g. May not seem like much of a difference, but you can 100% feel the difference under hand.

The futuristic design of the mouse, helps the Hyperion Fury stand out in a crowd, it’s hypnotic blue LED’s on the G logo, on top of the mouse and the 3 small indicator lights on the left side. I was hoping though, that the black strip on top of the mouse also streak blue, back and forth, a bit like Knight Rider or Tron, I think the idea would benefit the mouse and its futuristic, fusion engine.

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury uses an STD USB connection, nothing gold plated here, and a rubberised cord, not what I have come to expect of late, the braided cord. I tend to expect braided cords being used of late, thanks to them not tangling up, however, I had no issues with this rubberised cord, for hours and hours of games use, it did not tangle up.

The Logitech Hyperion Fury hits a massive 4000 DPI (Dots per inch), I have all my mice set at around 2400 to 2600DPI and that is very responsive and fast, anymore than 3000, I personally beleive if over sensitive and crazy.

Overall, I found using the mouse, a totally different experience from using the Razer Naga, not a bad experience a good experience, it has just the correct amount of buttons required for the majority of the games I play, and programming them all, is simple and quick, which is great. The small design is perfect under hand and how it glides/floats over the mouse mats surface is wonderful.The blue aesthetic used to help the mouse standout, does exactly that, even when I said I wished for a little more.

There are also many other outlets that sell the mouse, so look around.

HOWEVER

*I have to return to the fusion engine de-boggle, as you already know, I Googled to find out how Logitech explained the engine, but for some reason, I decided to move the mouse and Swoosh! It’s gone, all I did was push the damn mouse, pretty fast, and Swoosh its gone, a flash of blue light and it disappeared. Maybe Logitech has no idea of this fusion engines capability, but they need to pass it to NASA asap.

If anyone in the future manages to space travel, and come across this mouse on another planet, please return. Or was it all a dream… TBC

‘Defend the Highlands’ combines the genres of Tower Defence, Real Time Strategy and Scotland. Build defences, recruit from the best highland clans, manage their porridge stockpile and fight off the invading English. If Mel Gibson had used these tactics in Braveheart, the history of Scotland would have been VERY different!

Led by the short, hairy and nationalistic pub owner Alfredo, the Scots must make use of traditional Scottish weaponry, such as golf clubs and haggis catapults to defend Scotland and to take the fight to the Sassenach enemy.

Indie video game developer Invoker Studios today announced their first project Ironkraft – Road to Hell, a fast paced 2,5D side-scrolling car-brawler for PC. The game is now in the Steam Greenlight process and promises to bring all fans an intense driving and shooting action, a crazy story, highly customizable cars – yes, that’s right you can ‘pimp your ride’, secret places to find – or to miss – and tons of easter eggs. Everybody likes easter eggs! And weapons. Stuff that kills! You know, WEAPONS!

Ironkraft – Road to Hell rolls out with an alternative World War II story – Zombies, Nazis and maximum craziness included! Oh, did we mention Aliens too? In a Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic vehicle driven universe, where people are living in isolated colonies on Earth, no one can be safe on the road. The scarce supplies of the remaining cities are transported by the so-called Roadtraders. You!

INSPIRED BY CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION

While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon…

Lifeless Planet is a third-person action-adventure that features an old-school sci-fi story and spectacular environments in the spirit of classic action-adventures.

After a hard landing on the planet, the astronaut discovers the planet that was reported to be rich with life is instead a barren wasteland. When he goes searching for his crew, he makes a more startling discovery: evidence that humans have already been to this planet years ago! When he comes upon a deserted Soviet-era Russian town, he struggles to make sense of his mission. Did his light-speed travel to the planet send him back in time? Or is this all some strange Cold War hoax?

Along the way, the astronaut meets a Russian woman, Aelita, who is somehow able to survive the hostile atmosphere of the planet. Through an unusual natural phenomenon, her skin causes the soil to glow green under her feet. The player must use these glowing tracks as a guide across the planet past treacherous and deadly threats. Is she leading him to safety… or an untimely death?

Lifeless Planet was inspired by Cold War era science fiction stories, posing questions about humankind’s desire for space travel. What if you journeyed across the galaxy to another planet, only to find humans had already been there? What kind of person would sign up for a one-way mission, leaving behind planet Earth and everyone they’ve ever known and loved… to go in search of an Earth-like planet?

Equipped with a limited-use jet-pack and a mobile robotic arm, the player must use wits and skill to solve puzzles, unravel the mystery, and survive the Lifeless Planet!

KEY FEATURES:

Explore 20 unique and atmospheric environments on a vast and treacherous planet.

Follow a mysterious young woman as she guides you past dangerous terrain and deadly life-forms.

Investigate the startling discovery of an abandoned Russian town.

Experience an exciting and intriguing story through rich graphics and cinematic cut-scenes.

DESIGNED & DEVELOPED IN ALASKA

Lifeless Planet was created by David Board of Stage 2 Studios while he lived in Alaska. His inspiration for the game stems from a love of classic 1950’s and 60’s sci-fi movies and TV shows. Coupled with a love for video games (and frankly not much else to do during those long dark Alaskan winter nights!) he has turned this passion into something unique and original. Lifeless Planet was one of the first games to be successfully funded on Kickstarter. David also looked to the Kickstarter community to find talent for music, voice acting, testing and many other aspects of the project. Alaska-based programmer and game developer Jazon Burnell lead the effort to build the Premier Edition of Lifeless Planet.
